  1. It would be impossible for me to choose a favorite of your patterns. I love them all! Thanks for the giveaway, and Happy Holidays!

  2. I LOVE both of the flying geese patterns….it’s too hard to choose only one ,so -I am choosing both even if I can’t win

  11. Hi Janice! What a Wonderful Giveaway, and Thank You so Much for Doing This. I Love Your Designs, and have been Saving Pictures of Them for Quite some Time Wanting to find the Perfect Inspiration for them! This May Be it! I have Been Infatuated with the Spiral of Flying Geese Quilt since I first layed eyes on it! But, as for Colors….this could be a Tough Question. I Love Brights, but Truly Feel I need to Expand my Horizons to other Palattes…maybe I need to just throw a few Darks into the Brights, or a few Homespuns….HA!

  15. Thanks for the giveaway! I love the Gaggle of Geese. Great to see it in person at LAMQG.

  27. I really like all your patterns but my favorite is spiral of flying geese! I love spirals.

    Thanks for the chance!

  29. WOW It’s Christmas and you are giving away the best presents. I would have to say that
    Spiral of Flying Geese is my favorite. Although your new pattern is quite tempting.

  30. I’ve been intrigued by your Spiral of Flying Geese pattern for a while and just recently followed your progress on Gaggle of Geese on Instagram and love both!

  32. I love your right round pattern and as a new quilter would like to learn how to make flying geese.

  34. I like the spiral of flying geese. We have a lot of geese that like to make a pit stop in the field by our house. They are fun to watch.

  35. I am obsessed yet afraid of “spiral of Geese” It is only my quilty bucket list….

  43. I have been admiring all of them for a while, but the Gaggle of Geese is the one I am really attracted to. I would use a rainbow or colorwheel of Cherrywood Fabrics against a white – I have used this combo in paper piecing before and it really pops!

  52. I love these patterns! I’m a rainbow lover so I’d have to stick with rainbow! -amyjoquilts

  53. I love all of your patterns but the first one I would make is the Spiral of Flying Geese. Thanks for the giveaway!!

  95. You are one of the first people I started following on Instagram because I was drawn in by your use of color and design. Keep up your wonderful work:)

  192. love your geese patterns…. and color selections…. somehow mine are not even close….

  199. There’s no way to pick a favorite – all your patterns are fun and so inviting! I’d love to try any of them 🙂 I love rainbow quilts too, so I probably would go with rainbow colors as you have. Maybe mix up the backgrounds though – I love using black in my backgrounds 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!

  200. Love the spiral geese pattern the best,but the gaggle is pretty sweet too! I would use batiks in a teal and orange combo.

  205. The Spiral of Flying Geese done in the rainbow is just perfect! I can’t think of any other way that I’d do it! 🙂

  207. I love all your patterns but would love to do the NY Beauty Circle of Flying Geese using Alison Glass prints in a rainbow color scheme of course!

  210. My favorite pattern is Spiral Flying Geese…so modern and fresh! I’d use up some of my colorful scraps.

  214. I absolutely love your patterns. I follow you on bloglovin. cdahlgren at live dot com

  217. I would want to use rainbow colors, as I love rainbow quilts. I even have enough stash to do it with either solids or patterns. cdahlgren at live dot com

  218. Oh, Gaggle of Geese is making me drool! I’d love to do one in a rainbow, but I’d also love to find enough shades of one color (cough, grey!, cough) to do one like that.

  219. Wow, this is amazing! I have been following your creation of Gaggle of Geese on Instagram and I love it! That one and Spiral of Flying Geese!

  223. I loved making Right Round (your pattern was great!) and would make Round the Blocks with fussy cuts next! 🙂

  239. You are so talented – I love all your patterns and finished quilts (just caught myself drooling a bit, oh no!) My vote is for A Gaggle of Geese!

  245. Love your Gaggle of Geese and Spiral of Flying Geese the best. Your patterns are fabulous and I would love to make them all!!! I do love the rainbow colors, but they would be fun in other ways too!!

  248. Hi! I made your Kite Flight quilt before the kits came out. I get so many lovely comments on it. I’ve always loved your spiral geese, but wondered if it was a little too advanced for me. I love using bold colors and making fabric rainbows.

  258. I have a couple of your patterns already. I can already tell that “Gaggle of Geese” will have to be added.

  263. I love your spiral of flying geese pattern – it’s the “cover” photo for one of my Pinterest boards!

  264. I have seen your patterns on Craftsy. They are gorgeous. My favourite today is the Spiral of Flying Geese. Tomorrow could see a different favourite as they are all lovely.

  268. I am new to quilting. I have just finished my first ever quilt top … just got to quilt it and bind it now 🙂
    I would love to try a flying geese quilt and yours are beautiful… I love rainbow quilts. They are so beautiful.

  273. I’ve been seeing flying geese in rainbow colors and love them. Thinking about it ~ I’ve been collecting Alison Glass fabrics and I think that’s what I’d use.
    Thanks for the lovely giveaway!

  282. oh, awesome! i love the gaggle of geese pattern! i think maybe rainbow, or one or two colors with shading… hmmm… would look super cool probably any way with colors… thanks for the giveaway! happy holidays! 🙂

  288. Love the Gaggle of Geese. Would make it in rainbow colors first and then experiment with ombre fabric.

  298. I already bought New York Circle of Geese and plan to make it the centre of a rainbow medallion quilt… still haven’t had a chance to get started but I have high hopes! I have to say, I love all your patterns.

  307. I love the gaggle of geese pattern! I have three or four color schemes in mind, and I can’t decide which would be best…always the sign of a fun pattern 🙂

  309. I love all of these! I love the rainbow hues but I tend to steer away from them when I buy fabric so I would probably use my slightly less bright rainbow fabrics m

  311. How can I choose which pattern is a favourite? They’re all so lovely – and cheery and fun!!

  317. I like Gaggle of Geese, and I’d probably make it in a color wheel first, and then again with a combination of fewer colors.

  321. Wow, I watch in awe as you produce your crazy insane geese patterns! If I could find enough shades of blue or grey, I’d love to try the gaggle of geese pattern, with maybe a single rogue coloured goose! Just so it’s not too conforming 😉

  329. I love the gaggle of geese, but would start to sew the round and round first. I’m planning a cushion with lilac and ditsy florals for a relative and i think it’s work well. I’d have a rainbow one for myself though!

  334. I love every single one of these patterns! Maybe you could offer them as a bundle? You know, for when I don’t win… 🙂

  335. These patterns are all so perfect in the rainbow that I’m not sure I would mess with that. I could do a teal/aqua ombre look that could also be cool.

  337. all the patterns are wonderful. I would first use NY beauty circle of flying geese. And it would depend on whom I am giving it to as to whether I use multi colors or one color

  338. I love anything “geese”. And, the only thing better than geese is rainbow geese. My fave would be your new pattern. Lots of geese in that one.

  343. Such fantastic patterns. I’m torn between Spiral of Flying Geese and Gaggle of Geese. Both so great. I think I would try it with some sort of ombre effect but the rainbow is great. Thanks for a great giveaway!

  347. You certainly have the best giveaways. The really like the Gaggle of Geese pattern . I’d love to win all of them…..thank you for the opportunity….

  348. I would make any of the patterns in some modern vintage fabric…..so many designers to pick from.

  349. I think my favorite is the flying geese spiral. Great drafting. Not sure how I’d make it — maybe color gradations, maybe just darks to lights as the geese get smaller.

  350. I really love gaggle of geese, and spiral of flying geese is awesome too! (well they all are, but these are my favorites :).

  361. My favorite is “Spiral Flying Geese”, no “Gaggle of Geese”!! Both 🙂 In rainbow. Thank you for the opportunity to try your patterns.

  368. Merry Christmas from Oklahoma. I like gaggle of geese in rainbow colors. crystalbluern at onlineok dot com

  372. I really love Right Round. Actually the only reason I joined the Rainbow Swap on IG is in hopes of someone making one of these patterns for me in rainbow colors.

  373. Gaggle of Geese is beautiful. My daughter is an art student – color wheel rainbow would be a great choice for her.

  391. Ooohh–these all look like fun! I think I’d start with either the Gaggle of Geese or NY Beauty. Thanks for the giveaway!

  393. I love all the patterns but Right Round is my favorite. And I’d love to try a rainbow version. 🙂

  395. I like both the spiral and the gaggle. I’ve never made a flying goose before that I know of, it would be fun to try.

  396. You know, I was just scrolling through the giveaways thinking, “I hope the lady who makes those flying geese swirls is here this year” because I didn’t remember who you were! Well, now I’m following you on bloglovin, and you are bookmarked. My absolute favorite is the spiral — it’s unbelievable!

  405. My favourite pattern is Spiral of FLying Geese and I love the rainbow – or I might pick a colour and go from dark to light.
    Pauline

  407. Oh man I LOVE these patterns. wow. I would definitely make them rainbow, because I LOVE rainbow geese!

  411. I really like all of them.. but I would really like to have a go at Right Round…. love it bigtime!!!!

  414. I can see why Gaggle of Geese is a favorite. I like it too. Just beautiful and so colorful. Thank you for being a part of the Sew Mama Sew giveaway and giving me the chance to win a pdf copy of this pattern. Merry Christmas.

  415. I’m a huge fan of your beautiful patterns! Most of them are already in my Craftsy wish list. 🙂 I love the NY Beauty / Geese pattern though, it’s AMAZING. I don’t know exactly how I’d do it, but I see something involving metallic prints on a dark background. Thanks for this awesome giveaway chance!

  417. I really like your Spiral of Flying Geese pattern, it’s so stunning. Thanks for the chance!

  419. Spiral of Flying Geese is the one I like the best I think I would like to try making it only in shades of blue

  425. Well, I loved the NY Beauty flying geese mini I made for a dear friend. Funny, I haven’t gotten around to making one for myself, and I WANT one! I also just received the most beautiful Right Round mini in a recent swap. Ooo, and the new Gaggle of Geese looks irresistible. It’s too hard to pick a favorite!

  431. Awesome giveaway! Your patterns are wonderful! I’ve always wanted to do a rainbow colored mini. Would love to try any of these, love them!

  438. I didn’t find candy fabric which is what I need right now but I did see Miss Clementine and loved that bundle

  441. Lovely patterns! I think I would use every single one of those patterns – they are gorgeous! I think I would start with 1-2 colors (ombre effect) because I struggle with rainbow. But Rainbow is my fave, so I would also need to try at least 1 pattern in the rainbow effect.

  443. I love your Gaggle of Geese Pattern and think that I would like the do it in jewel tones instead of brights to work better in my house.

  449. I love your patterns! I would love to make the New York Beauty Circle of Geese, and it definitely begs to made made with a rainbow of colors.

  451. I love your Right Round pattern the best, though they’re all fantastic! I would definitely use rainbow fabrics for these, it really highlights the designs brilliantly. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  468. Gaggle of Geese remind me of all the geese that would chase my little girls behind our house growing up and they thought that was just the most fun. Kind of like tag! =0
    Merry Christmas and keep designing. Love your patterns.

  473. Ummm I am both terrified of flying geese and desparate to make a quilt using them so this would be amazing!

  474. I couldn’t possibly pick a favorite because they are all so cute. Really — not a cop out. The names are all right there, it would be easy, but I can’t! Thanks!
